Took me years to learn to say "Keya Paha" (sp?) to his satisfaction!

LOL! Tell me about it! Is it "keep-a-haw"? I worked for a newspaper/printer/publisher that served Nebraska & South Dakota, and we would argue about how to say that all the time. I never did figure it out. I always thought "keep-a-haw" sounded southern, while "keya paha" sounded Native American.

Nope. It's Kee-ya-pa-haw, but my late father-in-law always made it sound like one word.

It IS a Native American name, Sioux, I believe...I haven't been out there for awhile, I miss it!
I do not miss the travel time however, we have to take a plane to Lincoln, then rent a car and drive 350 or so miles to Ainsworth, long, long trip....
